Hi all,
Just looking for a bit of advice really. As some of you know, I'm new to this site and still proceeding with caution as I'm really nervous.
Had a guy add me to his msn contacts, I don't even know him, is this normal for people to do this without even getting to know you first? Really took me by suprise. Have now taken my msn details off so it don't happen again.
Sorry for sounding so wet, but actually posting and saying hello was a huge step for me and I'm just feeling really nervous again now.
Cheers, Donuts
If they haven't at least emailed or PM'd you to say hello then it's definitely a bit forward. Personally I'd always ask, or let somebody know my details and let them add me if they want to.
Not having your MSN address publically accessable would be the easy way to avoid people like that, so taking it off was definitely a good move.
Its not the norm but it has happand to me i accept just to be nosy .
then block and delite them if there not known .
sometimes there under diffrent names as you know them by
Thanks all, you've confirmed what I thought, that it would have been good manners to ask first.
Have therefore blocked him, can't stand bad manners, LOL !!!
Definitely bad manners to just add you without emailing you and asking first. If a guy hit on you in a pub you would at least expect him to politely introduce himself. He is either a newby and doesnt know any better which says he is probably bad mannered anyway or he takes a chance and does it regular and is pest! as already mentioned the type who pm's in a chatroom without asking 1st!
Good job I told Mr Donuts I had joined SH or he'd wondered wtf was going on when the messenger box popped up, LOL !!!
There's a couple of extra tick boxes in the MSN privacy options you can set to stop people getting straight through with unwanted messages.
You can set 'Only people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages' and 'Alert me when other people add me to their contact list'.
